Well fam, I have two pretty big announcements I wanted to share with you today...

The first is that Michelle and I have spent the past week recovering from Covid, but as the over-achiever I am, just getting Covid wasn’t enough. I had to go all-in, so I went ahead and got the regular flu at the same time. 

I came down with a really severe fever for two days that went as high as 103.8 which was the regular flu, and then Covid kicked in which was marked by a constant low grade fever, and difficulty breathing. 

Michelle lost her sense of taste and smell, but I retained mine. 

Thankfully we have the support of some incredible doctors who took amazing care of us. 

We took all of the supplements you can imagine, and they also put us on prescriptions for Ivermectin and Hydroxy Chlorochine. 

The worst part was a three day period where it was getting increasingly difficult to breath.

If you think you have Covid, you want to jump on Amazon or have someone run down to the local drug store to get you a blood oxygen meter and a nebulizer. 

If your 02 level gets down to 93 or less, it’s time to head to the hospital which is what we did next.

My primary concern was that I was coming down with pneumonia, so we had a CT scan. 

Thankfully it was just Covid, so we started nebulizing glutathione, ionic silver, and a steroid to help open the lungs which is what did the trick. 

Overall, we spent about 9 days laying in bed, but thankfully we’re about 95% recovered at this point. Michelle’s smell and taste came back, and I’m breathing normally once again. 

So what is the big takeaway from this experience?

If you take care of your body, it will take care of you. 

If your body had a voice, and if you could have a conversation with it, what would it say to you? Would it say thank you, or would it beg you to stop filling it with poisons like alcohol, sugar, or processed foods?

Grab a piece of paper, and write down this question… What does my body desperately want me to know? 

And simply write out everything that comes up. 

What you learn here has the power to completely change your life if you’re willing to listen. 

Now that brings us to my second piece of news…

After 7 years, and over 350 episodes I am going to take a break from this podcast as of today. 

The show will be back, but I don't know when. 

All I know is that over the past year, my passion for this show had turned into an obligation. I was producing it every week because I felt like I had to. 

If you’ve been a listener for a while, you know that I’ve been going through a massive transition in my life over the past few years, and who I am today, is completely different than who I was when I started this show under the
